Where can a company search listings from independent software vendors to find, test, buy, and deploy third-party software that runs on AWS?
Easy · Choose one
Explanation
Answer: A. AWS Marketplace is the curated digital catalog where customers find, test, buy, and deploy software and data products from independent software vendors and other AWS Partners. Purchases are made against the customer's existing AWS account and the charges appear on the AWS bill, which removes a separate procurement and payment relationship with each vendor. Free trials, pay-as-you-go, annual contracts, and privately negotiated offers are all supported.
B. AWS Partner Central is the portal AWS Partners use to manage their partnership, access training, and register opportunities. Customers buy through AWS Marketplace.
C. AWS Service Catalog lets an organization curate and govern its own approved products for internal deployment. It manages what a company's own teams may launch, not what is available to buy from third parties.
D. AWS Artifact provides on-demand access to AWS compliance reports and agreements. It has no software catalog.

Which AWS resource is a free community question-and-answer service where AWS customers, partners, and employees share knowledge, and which now also hosts the AWS Knowledge Center articles?
Easy · Choose one
Explanation
Answer: D. AWS re:Post is the community question-and-answer service that replaced the original AWS Forums, and the AWS Knowledge Center articles were migrated into it. It is part of the AWS Free Tier and free to use: anyone can browse, and posting requires an AWS account. AWS also notes that questions from AWS Premium Support customers which the community does not answer are passed on to AWS Support engineers.
A. The AWS Support Center is the console where customers create and manage support cases with AWS. It is not a community forum.
B. AWS Artifact is the self-service portal for AWS compliance reports and agreements.
C. AWS Prescriptive Guidance publishes strategies, guides, and patterns authored by AWS technology experts. It is curated content rather than a community question-and-answer service.

A company wants to read AWS technical content on architectural best practices, including whitepapers and reference architecture diagrams, before designing a workload. Where is this content published?
Easy · Choose one
Explanation
Answer: C. AWS publishes technical whitepapers, decision guides, technical guides, and reference architecture diagrams openly on its website, through the AWS Whitepapers and Guides library and the AWS Architecture Center. Making this material public and free is deliberate: architects can research, compare designs, and build internal standards without an account, a support plan, or a sales conversation.
A. AWS Marketplace sells third-party software and data products. AWS's own whitepapers and reference architectures are not listings there.
B. AWS Artifact provides compliance reports such as SOC and ISO documentation and AWS agreements, not architectural guidance.
D. Support cases are for account, billing, service limit, and technical issues. Architectural content is published openly and does not require a case.

A customer discovers that an application hosted on AWS is sending spam and wants to report it. Which AWS team handles reports of abuse of AWS resources?
Easy · Choose one
Explanation
Answer: D. The AWS Trust and Safety team investigates reports of abusive activity involving AWS resources, and customers submit them through the AWS abuse report form. AWS documents four abuse categories: objectionable or infringing web content, abusive email or spam, problematic network activity such as denial-of-service traffic, intrusion attempts, or port scanning, and content subject to DMCA removal requests. Anyone can file a report; it does not require a support plan.
A. The AWS Partner Network manages the partner community and its programs. It is unrelated to abuse reporting.
B. AWS Professional Services is AWS's consulting organization, which delivers project-based design, migration, and build engagements. It has no abuse handling role.
C. A Technical Account Manager supports the customer's own environment and is available only with the top support plans. Abuse reports go to Trust and Safety, and anyone can file one.

What is the role of an independent software vendor in the AWS Partner Network?
Intermediate · Choose one
Explanation
Answer: C. An independent software vendor builds and sells its own software. Within the AWS Partner Network these organizations sit on the Software Path, where they qualify their products with AWS and reach customers through AWS Marketplace. The distinction from a services partner is what the organization sells: an ISV sells a product, a systems integrator sells expertise and delivery.
A. AWS Professional Services is AWS's own consulting organization, not a partner. Partners are third-party companies.
B. Delivering AWS training is the Training Path. AWS Certification itself is administered by AWS, not by ISVs.
D. Consulting and integration describes a systems integrator or consulting partner, which sits on the Services Path of the AWS Partner Network.
